ansible-role-librenms

Installs LibreNMS from GitHub releases on Debian-based distributions. Handles package dependencies, PHP Composer install, file permissions, cron jobs and the systemd dispatcher service.

The following are out of scope and must be handled separately:

• Database (MariaDB/MySQL) setup and LibreNMS database migration
• nginx/apache virtual host configuration
• LibreNMS .env application configuration

The service is left disabled/stopped by default until the database and config are in place.

Requirements

• Ansible >= 2.14
• Debian Bookworm or Ubuntu Jammy/Noble
• The librenms_user and librenms_group must be created beforehand
